Lost and found

Last night Howard and I were at E.B. Green's listening to Jackie Jocko, pictured above, and Howard said, "Jocko has a surprise for you."

Jocko started laughing and at the same time as playing Leonard Pennario's "Midnight on the Cliffs" (in my honor, he always plays that when I come in) he pulled something out of somewhere in the recesses of the piano and handed it to me.

It was my Buffalo Athletic Club card! And my Summer Survivor card! Which, remember, I just wrote that I had lost.

Darn, I had already paid the $5 to get a new one! I just wanted to put the whole annoyance behind me, the way I do when I get a parking ticket. Well, if I had not paid the $5 they would not have turned up. That is the way you have to look at it.
